Israeli police say they have arrested six Jewish people in connection with the murder of a Palestinian teenager in East Jerusalem. It follows the release of new CCTV footage revealing the faces of the suspects who are thought to have abducted him.

The video was acquired by The Electronic Intifada website, which
is a supporter of Palestinian rights. They reported that “the
footage comes from a security camera on the building owned by
Hussein Abu Khdair, Mohammad’s father.”

The footage shows from
another angle, what Mohammad Abu Khdeir’s family say, was their
son’s final movements before he was kidnapped.

The footage was obtained from a CCTV camera, which apparently
shows the spot close to where Abu Khdeir was sitting early on
Wednesday morning. The 17 year-old is not visible in the video,
but one of the two men is seen apparently gesturing towards him.

In the first footage,
released several days ago, it appeared as though the man was
asking directions, however in the newly obtained footage he
appears to be jabbing his arm angrily at the person he is
speaking to, who is out of shot.

The suspected attackers appear to be well dressed and in their
late teens to early twenties with short cropped dark hair.

“The original video was handed over to police two hours after
the boy’s disappearance,” Electronic Intifada stated.

The Palestinian youth
was kidnapped and murdered in what is believed to be a revenge
killing by Israeli right wing extremists, after three Israeli
teenagers were murdered.

Earlier Palestinian
Attorney General, Mohammad Al A’wewy said that a preliminary
post-mortem revealed that the 16 year-old had deposits of soot on
his lungs, which suggest that he was still breathing when he was
set alight, after he had suffered an injury to his head.

The teen’s abduction and
cruel death has led to days of rioting in East Jerusalem.

In a separate incident, Abu Khdeir's 15-year-old cousin, Tarek, a
US citizen of Palestinian descent who goes to school in Florida,
was badly beaten by police after his detainment during
clashes on Thursday, ahead of his cousin’s funeral.

Tarek Abu Khdeir has
been placed under house arrest by an Israeli court on Sunday,
despite police demanding to keep him in custody claiming that he
attacked police officers.

Tarek’s parents maintain his innocence and claim Israeli police
officers committed an unprovoked attack on their son while he was
handcuffed. On Saturday a video, showing how two officers
violently beat Abu Khdeir while he was lying on the floor,
appeared on local television, provoking outrage and condemnation
on social media.

Following the uproar,
the US government released a statement saying it was
“profoundly troubled” by the incident.
